As a second-generation California native, I take pride in showcasing the best of the Golden State. From charming restaurants and luxurious spas to exciting shopping destinations, top-notch hotels, captivating museums, and vibrant art galleries, I offer a wealth of knowledge on all things California. Having traveled to 27 countries and explored most of the United States, I bring a global perspective to my passion for guiding others. Having lived in Atlanta, GA, Las Vegas, NV, and Seattle, WA, I understand the nuances of different places and love to share my extensive travel experiences. Let's embark on a journey together as I bring my love for travel and rich cultural insights to enhance your exploration of California and beyond.
My Offer
I thrive on the delightful paradox of being both a tourist and a local in my beloved city of Santa Monica. Life here feels like a perpetual movie scene, always vibrant and full of energy. Every day unfolds with a diverse tapestry of people from around the world, creating an atmosphere where striking up a conversation with friendly strangers is second nature.
Santa Monica, with its array of outdoor activities, eclectic restaurants, cozy coffee shops, tempting shopping spots, invigorating salsa and yoga classes, and a lively nightlife, is a playground waiting to be explored. Just a short 30-minute drive (traffic-dependent) takes you to downtown LA, a cultural and culinary haven.
Imagine a perfect day in Santa Monica: a morning walk to the donation-based yoga studio followed by a refreshing green juice or smoothie from the nearby juice bar. A leisurely bike ride to Venice Beach, where people-watching and beach relaxation await. Continue the journey through the charming streets and canals of Venice, exploring iconic coffee shops and trendy shops on Abbot Kinney. I advocate for exploring on foot or taking in the panoramic views on a bike.
Join me for a day filled with good music, plenty of exercise, beach vibes, and delectable food. Let's make memories in Santa Monica that resonate with the rhythm of good times and the spirit of exploration
